Blackboard Tip: Discussion Boards

Blackboard discussion boards are an integral communication tool for distance learning students. Some instructors will require you to post an introduction to the discussion board as your first assignment. And beyond that, you can use the discussion board throughout your course to ask questions about assignments and materials or to arrange a study group. Learn how to use this feature and stay in-the-know about your ELI course. Visit here for a Blackboard discussion group tutorial.

The Extended Learning Institute (ELI) is the online learning program at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). We offer online courses in over 50 disciplines, with 20 Associate's degrees and 12 certificates available completely through ELI. ELI staff, faculty, and students write for ELIfe.
